I’m not sure if I agree with the Bucks being favored here, but understand the oddsmakers’ thinking with the loss of the Oden, and five of their last seven resulting in a loss, the Blazers appear to have turned the corner. They won two games ago and played the Cavaliers tough on the road, losing by just five points. The Bucks haven't exactly been eye-popping either as they have dropped nine of their last 11 and are the worst of the two teams here and playing worse basketball. It has been over a month since the Bucks beat a team with a winning record and I don't see this as the spot for that to suddenly change. The Blazers have been great without a day’s rest catching the money in eight of their last nine, so I'll go with Portland here.
